Some would not understand that this is one of the many facets of "prepping"

Seriously, all you people that think that Sheriff Judd was over the top with his statement, what are you going to do if someone (or several people) tries to break into your house and cause harm to you and your loved one(s)? Find some safe place to cower down and whimper?

Not at my house......

Looks like everyone has the same feelings to me. I understand what you are saying for sure.

It appears that you do not need to warn them. You can also shoot them if they are attempting to get into your vehicle while you are in it, perhaps to carjack it. Can I Shoot An Intruder In Florida

There is not one post saying or thinking the statement was over the top. Re-read the posts.

True. Just hope they don't turn quickly and you shoot them in the back.

Agree.

One would hope that the DA of his county feels the same way

I totally agree. None of us has to tolerate this poor and dangerous behavior.

He specifically said if someone is attempting break in or harm your property or your person, shoot them!! I don't see the problem with that. If they are pouring gasoline on your property, are you going to wait until they light match before acting? Hell no.

I also think some more dead (shot) looters would turn things around quickly.

When you know you can get free stuff with no consequences does bring out the worst in people

Another amazingly misleading headline. Some of the fake news is blatant and some is subtle like this.

Listen to this sheriff. He says that if these so called protestors try to enter your house, you should shoot them as is legal under Florida law.

The headline implies that the sheriff is encouraging people to go out on the streets and mow these people down.

By making this statement what this sheriff has done is discourage protestors from trying to enter private residences.

Does anyone know if the castle doctrine applies to businesses as well?

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

There was a video posted somewhere of two shop owners (in New jersey I think) who met rioters that were about to enter their shop with a show of guns. On the video one of the rioters can be overheard saying, "They've got guns in there. That's crazy"

THAT'S CRAZY???? Defending your property against people who are rioting for the sake of rioting is crazy, but the rioters and looters are not crazy.
